Partnerships are the simplest structure for two or more people to own a business together. There are two common kinds of partnerships: limited partnerships (LP) and limited liability partnerships (LLP).
General partnerships are businesses with two or more owners that share profits and personal liability for the business they own. A partnership does not require you to register your business with the state.
